Richelle's New Front Teeth


Yesterday was our appointment for Richelle's front teeth capped. 4 of her front teeth were rotten and and the 2nd 2 were eatin' away by the cavity. We made our 1st visit before Christmas were they make x-rays and examination and yesterday was her appointment for cleaning and capping. It was started really bad cause she fought and screaming when we tried to get her to drink her medication, that was when they hold her down and syringed it in her mouth. So i was thinking the actual tooth work is gonna get worse. After about 45 min to let the medication work, we went in and they wanted to strap her to a papoose like board "wrap her like a burrito" she said. So Richelle climbed right up on the board, allowed the lady to her right arm then her left arm and the wrap that went around her. Then they put the nitrous oxide on her nose the whole time she was very good for everything. Then another lady came in gave her two shots of Novocaine still not a single fuss.. then the doctor came in and went to work filed down her teeth fitted and glued the caps on and commented that she was a very good girl.. usually they fuss a little to a lot he said but she was very good trooper. Her dad's been telling her that the dentist was going to open her mouth look around in there and make drilling noises and he was going fix her teeth cause that's his job, reminded her quite a bit yesterday making drilling noises and like that.. .so maybe she was a little prepared.. but whatever she was very good, i was very surprised and so proud of her. Not a very little fuss when they work on her teeth, we are there watching and some little blood around her gums. The medication might be affect good cause she is so tired and sleepy but she is still conscious on the operation opening her eyes and moving her feet. I was just proud of her and likes her teeth now. She seems still adjusting on the caps as it is a little bigger compared to her teeth.
